[Rant] TWC Local on the 8's

How many areas have a very unreliable "Local on the 8's" on The Weather Channel?

Here in Schaumburg, for a good 2-3 years, it's been unreliable. It often doesn't trigger at all, even though the bottom overlay keeps running. Even more fun, like now, it's starting 20-30 seconds late, running over the opening of the next section!

Also, I often see the bottom overlay still running over commercials and obscuring text.

Though, I have to admit, I used to visit local on the 8's a lot to catch the current weather. Now that TWC has morphed into a reality network, it is far easier for me just to check out accuweather on the internet.

Also, the time I did see HD local on the 8's, the voice-over was done by Jim Cantorey. His voice is probably the worst for regular weather voice-overs, as he does not know how to talk without making it seem like there's a crisis occurring.

So, bottom line, I'm not particularly fraught with anticipation about HD local on the 8's.
